Bouncers is 35 years old, and its theatrical innovations are now mainstream, but this play about nightclub life is still as sharp and funny as ever.
John Godber has updated his script with references to modern pop culture and his pulsating background music is taken from today's charts.
Yet the heart of his play remains the same because at heart clubbing has not changed: guys and girls still drink, preen, love, fight, and turn melancholy at the end of the night.
Bouncers, now "door supervisors", still watch over the beer-soaked, testosterone-fuelled proceedings while occasionally getting stuck in.
Our four bouncers, an excellent quartet of familiar TV faces, portray all the characters you'll find down the club including -- with the addition of handbags -- the girls.
Cue quickfire dialogue, hilarious set-pieces and irreverent social comment, and monologues from a seen-it-all bouncer played with chilling effect by Ian Reddington, Eastenders' "Tricky Dicky".
Bouncers lacks a little depth in its characterisation, but apart from that it's an invigorating, incisive and very rude tour-de-force that well deserved the audience's thunderous applause.
